Select RAID Level To ensure the best performance, you should select the optimal RAID level when you create a system drive. The optimal RAID level for your disk array depends on a number of factors:

the number of drives in the disk array,

the capacity of the drives in the array,

the need for data redundancy, and

the disk performance requirements.

Selecting a RAID Level The factors you need to consider when selecting a RAID level are listed on the next page
